My name is Ashley Artis and I am a PhD candidate in the Genetics Department under the guidance of Dr. Mary Goll. Broadly, I am interested in how the heterochromatin mark Histone 3 Lysine 9 tri-methylation is established during embryogenesis. For my thesis research, I am interested in pursuing two questions: 1) What are the roles of the Suv39h1 H3K9me3 methyltransferases during early vertebrate development and 2) How are these proteins recruited to specific targets during initial de novo establishment of heterochromatin?
